welcome to "cbs this morning." the crisis over the latest reported chemical weapons attack by syria's government against its own people is growing and amid threats of retaliation. russia's military claims jets attacked a air base overnight. the u.n. security counsel plans an emergency meeting this afternoon. >> a bombing that used a possible chlorine agent happened over the weekend in the town of douma outside of damascus. more than 30 people including women and children reported dead. >> on twitter, president trump called out russian president putin and iran for backing the syrian regime and warns they will pay a big price. holly williams is following this story from istanbul, turkey, holly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this alleged chemical bombardment comes as the syrian regime attacks eastern ghouta. the last stronghold of syrian

rebels close to the country's capital damascus. we should warn you that the video's emerging from the town of coupdouma in eastern ghouta e this chemical attack took place involves children and are very graphic. the video show lifeless bodies with no visible injuries. all of them seem to be inside buildings. survivors struggling to breathe. many of them children. and being washed down apparently to remove a substance from their skin. we cannot independently verify any of these videos. and we don't know whether a chemical weapon was used. survivors, though, reportedly smelled of chlorine, a chemical that can be deadly in confined spaces. >> there are many patients who suffered from symptoms comparable with exposure to chlorine gas, high concentration chlorine gas. >> reporter: chlorine is thought

to be widely used as a weapon in the seven year long war. but it's once again denied using chemical weapons. an attack in ghouta in 2013 killed hundreds with a much more deadly substance, sarin nerve a gent. under international pressure, the syrian regime agreed to hand over its chemical weapons stockpile. but the deal didn't include chlorine. another sarin a tack almost exactly a year ago killed scores of people in the town in northern syria. blamed by the u.s. and the u.n. investigators on the syrian regime. the u.s. responded with missile strikes on a regime air base. nearly 60 tomahawk cruise missiles targeting aircraft and ammo dumps. if this was, in fact, a chlorine attack and if investigates find that the syrian regime was responsible, the question is whether this will draw an

international response. john. >> holly williams for us in istanbul, thank you. very tough to look at those pictures. u.s. officials say president trump will wait for today's u.n. meeting before deciding on a u.s. response. the president already has a planned meeting with senior military advisers tonight. he said just last week that he wants to pull american forces out of syria. major garrett is at the white house where the president strongly criticized syria's president yesterday. major, good morning. >> good morning. you know, a year ago when president trump launched those cruise missile strikes against syria in reaction to its sarin gas attack, he weighed many risks. among them, killing or wounding russians on the ground, damaging russian planes, aiding the syrian assad regime or doing anything that could draw the u.s. in direct conflict with russia. those concerns are just as real now. >> there's no defense with this kind of conduct. there's no reason for it. >> white house homeland security

adviser tom bossert said the president was considering a military strike to reinforce the administration's stated zero tolerance policy for battlefield use of chemical weapons. >> see what our response is. >> reporter: sunday morning, the president tweeted that putin, russia and iran were responsible and would have, quote, a big price to pay. >> this is a defining moment, mr. president. >> reporter: south carolina's lindsey graham. >> if he doesn't follow through and live up to that tweet, he's going to look weak in the eyes of russia and iran. >> i want to get out. i want to bring troops back home. >> reporter: mr. trump said last week he wanted to pull the roughly 2,000 american troops out of syria within six months. >> we're thinking about that very seriously, okay. >> reporter: the president's abrupt push to leave syria alarmed his national security team and middle east experts at the state department. defense secretary james mattis and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff opposed withdrawing within the six-month

timetable. the president launched missile strikes on a syrian air base last april following a chemical attack that killed more than 90 civilians. arizona republican john mccain accused the president of telling the world he would prematurely withdraw from syria. strike again to, quote, demonstrate that assad will pay a price for his war crimes. diplomats at the state department have been working there for nearly a month since secretary of tillerson's firing. john bolton starts today. he has previously said syria will require a sustained american commitment and it cannot walk away or withdraw as it did in 2011 from iraq. >> all right, major, thank you. white house officials say north korea has confirmed that dictator kim jong-un is ready to discuss removing all nuclear weapons from the korean peninsula. now this is the first time that kim has indicate head could be willing to give up his country's nuclear weapons. the message was delivered during secret talks between the trump

administration and north korea. kim and president trump are tentatively planning to meet next month, though it's still unclear what they plan to discuss. facebook has suspended another data collecting firm this morning. it reportedly operated a lot like cambridge analytica. the company accused of i improperly accessing millions of facebook accounts. cube you collected data with online quizzes and sold data collected by cambridge university researchers. they said they never sold any user information. facebook ceo mark zuckerberg will testify to congress tomorrow on how his company handles its user's data. this morning, on his facebook page, zuckerberg announced the company will create an independent commission to boost research that studies social media's impact on elections. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. zuckerberg is going to try to smooth the way today for those

upcoming hearings by meeting one on one with key lawmakers. we're told his message is going to be one of contrition. he'll apologize for the conditions that enabled a political consulting firm cambridge analytica to access personal data from up to 87 million users. and he'll apologize for the fact that the affected users are only being alerted on facebook starting today. over 2 years later. now, zuckerberg is not the only one getting grilled this week. former congressman mike pompeo is going to be questioned about how he'd run the state department differently than rex tillerson, who only lasted about 14 months. no hearing date has been set yet for pompeo's proposed replacement at the helm of the cia. her name is gina haspel. these confirmations take a lot of time on the calendar. and there are many senators who

are frustrated at the turnover they're seeing at the cabinet level this quickly. and that may be a part of the reason, gayle, that the president has not let go of another embattled cabinet level officer, the director of the epa, scott pruitt. in fact, the president tweeted again this weekend that pruett is doing a great job. >> okay. so far so good i guess, thank you very much, nancy. 44 people are injured after a bus full of high school students crashed in new york. the students were coming home last night from a spring break trip to europe. the charter bus picked them up at jfk international airport. and was headed to suffolk county overpass. the top of the bus was sheared off. two of the injuries are very serious. a vigil is held for victims of a devastating bus crash in canada. 15 people were killed friday when a semitrailer slammed into a bus carrying a junior hockey league team. many of the victims were in their teens and early 20s. the bus was headed to a playoff

game. don dahler is at the team's arena where the vigil was held last night. what a tough morning there. >> reporter: horrible, just horrible story. for many in this small community of fewer than 6,000, coming to this arena was like a happy gathering place where they could come together to cheer on their favorite local team. but now they're coming here to leave flowers and jerseys and personal tribute s to honor thoe who were killed. the same ice where the broncos played the game they loved, hundreds of mourners, including canadian prime minister justin trudeau and a player just released from the hospital, came together to remember members of the team who died in a horrific bus crash over the weekend. the team's chaplain saw the aftermath. >> walked up and it's a scene i never want to see again.

to sounds i never want to hear again. >> reporter: the broncos were on their way to a playoff game friday night when a tractor trailer slammed into their bus. the impact split the bus in half. ten players were among the 15 people killed. including 20-year-old jaxon joseph whose father played professional hockey and adam herold, who would have turned 17 on thursday. 14 more were injured. sam jackson was on the team just last year. how are you doing? have you been able to process this? >> it's still unbelievable to me. it's friends and sons and neighbors lost and it's tragic. >> reporter: the tragedy is being felt across the world in greater hockey communities. among the many nhl tributes, the chicago blackhawks and winnipeg jets wore the broncos team name on their jerseys. those here say sunday's vigil is just the first step as the community begins to heal. >> we will find strength in one another. and we will be forever broncos

strong. >> reporter: investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the accident. the truck driver was not injured help w he was detained but then released. police say it's too early to determine whether he will be the subject of a criminal investigation. >> don dahler for us. >> it's just one of those stories that there are no words. you always ask why, why did this have to happen. >> people all over the world have been touched by this. they donated over $4 million to the go fund me page from all over the world. >> all that. an investigation is under way into the deadly fire at new york city's trump tower. flames poured out of an apartment on the 50th floor saturday. a 67-year-old man who lived in the apartment was killed and four firefighters were injured. the apartment did not have sprinklers. because they were not required when trump tower opened in 1983.

in 1999, mr. trump reportedly opposed legislation that would have required sprinklers in most of the city's residential buildings because the systems were expensive. opening statements are getting under way in bill cosby's sexual assault retrial. cosby arrived at the white house earlier this morning. the first trial for the 80-year-old comedian ended last june with a deadlocked jury. five new accusers could take the stand, though, this time. the defense is expected to present new evidence claiming that accuser andrea constand tried to extort money from bill cosby. >> reporter: the trial is under way right now, but the judge is actually trying to decide whether or not a juror will be removed after he allegedly was overheard saying he thought bill cosby was guilty. at this time, though, the makeup of the jury is the same as it was from the last trial. with two african-american

jurors, seven of them are men, five are women. comedian bill cosby smiled and waved to fans outside the courthouse during jury selection. the jury could hear up to five additional accusers in the retrial, including super model janice dickinson. last year, jurors failed to reach a verdict after andrea constand testified that cosby drugged and sexually assault heard in 2004. but cosby said the interaction was consensual. this accuser won't testify but will attend. cosby denies bernard's allegations he assaulted her in the '90s. bernard believes the rise of the me too movement will help jurors better understand cosby's accusers. >> what the me too movement is showing that it's perfectly normal for survivors of rape and sexual assault, particularly whose perpetrator is a powerful person, to just be silent. >> reporter: the now 80-year-old

cosby has a new attorney, tom mesereau. mesereau is best known for helping clear michael jackson of child molestation charges. the defense is expected to call a witness who will claim that constand told her once that she could make up a sex assault claim against a celebrity to get money. they're also expected to reveal constand reportedly received an alleged $3.5 million from cosby in a civil suit. >> i think that's a double-edged sword. >> reporter: gloria allred represents dozens of cosby accusers. >> if the jury is permitted to hear that millions of dollars were paid to the victim, they might ask themselves why would so much be paid if, in fact, nothing had been done to andrea constand? >> reporter: the jurors in this case were actually selected from right here in montgomery county where bill cosby has a home. in the last trial, those jurors were selected from allegheny county, about 300 miles from here. if convicted, bill cosby could face the rest of his life behind

bars. >> all right, jericka, thank you. this morning, patrick reed is celebrating his first major win on golf's biggest stage. >> will it be his life-changing moment? yes, it will. captain america captures augusta. >> reed was leading at the start of the tournament's final day in georgia sunday. he held off challenges from ricky fowler and 2015 master's champion jordan spieth. the 27-year-old won by one shot and reed spoke about being an underdog. >> everyone out here has a talent, you know, it's who can mentally handle it and who can flip that switch when the big moments happen. i felt like a lot of those experiences we've had in the past we're able to pull from and be able to get the job done at the end. >> reed is the fourth straight green jacket winner to score his first major championship victory at the masters.

and what a thrilling, thrilling match it was to watch because, boy, spieth just had an incredible round yesterday. almost caught him. as reed said, if he had a couple more holes, spieth might have caught up to him. >> he said he went to college in that area so it was very special to him. >> what were you going to say? >> that grace under pressure with all that -- thousands of people behind you breathing down your neck. >> going this is it. >> motivation. >> that's right. motivational speaker tony robbins is apologizing. ahead, we'll hear from the woman who challenged him in the video. what she says good morning, everybody. nice, clear conditions out there. gr religious start to the workweek -- gorgeous start to the workweek and temperatures will be warm. chilly to begin with because of the clear skies but look at your afternoon highs. we're looking at low 80s for the south bay and east bay. get ready for 80 degrees in fremont, san francisco 72. we are sitting under this ridge

site dearly. >> we couldn't understand it all. there wasn't enough transparency. >> reporter: for years, mozilla used facebook to tell people about its products, but now the nonprofit has a new message. it's pulled all advertising off the social network indefinitely. >> trust right now isn't being earned. technology companies aren't treating people like people. they're not treating people like human beings. they're expecting them to have an unreasonable amount of knowledge about how their information is being used. >> so mozilla is saying you're uncomfortable with the consumer surveillance model of the internet, which is the model. >> we're uncomfortable with the way the technology companies are treating people fundamentally. absolutely businesses should be able to run using data, but technology companies can't take for granted that all the things they're doing aren't easy to understand. >> reporter: the chief marketing officer showed us how facebook tracks and uses your data. >> we choose to click on this ad. when we click on this ad, something happens. the data that's been associated with my profile on the social

♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. it's monday, april 9th, 2018. welcome back to "cbs this morning." ahead, we'll talk with the former facebook manager who warned the company years ago that customer information was at risk. plus, first on cbs this morning, we'll reveal the newest che chevy camaro and how they managed to hide the car while gm was testing it. and elton john looks back at his nearly half century of entertainment. here's today's eye opener at 8:00. >> the crisis over the latest reported chemical weapons attack by syria's government against its own people is escalating. >> these alleged chemical bombardment comes as the syrian regime attacks the last stronghold of syrian rebels.

the incoming national security adviser is previously said that syria will require a sustained american commitment. >> zuckerberg is going to try to smooth the way today for those upcoming hearings by meeting one on one with key lawmakers. and we're told his message, one of contrition. >> coming into this arena was like a happy gathering place where they could come together to cheer on their favorite local team. but now they're coming here to honor those who were killed. >> the trial is under way right now. the judge is actually trying to decide whether or not a juror will be removed after he was alleged overhearing saying he thought bill cosby was guilty. line drive. left field. it is out of here! sixth hit of the night sends everybody home. welcome to san francisco. andrew mccutchen. are you kidding me?

i love the announcers when they get excited and they say it's outta here. i'm gayle king with john dickerson and norah o'donnell. they are going to discuss the alleged chemical weapons attack in syria. missiles strk an air base in syria earlier this morning. russia says it was carried out by israeli military jets. the pentagon says no u.s. forces were involved here. >> the possible chemical weapons attack hand on saturday in the rebel held syria of duma outside damascus. more than 40 people were reportedly killed. rescuers report that some of the survivors smelled like chlorine, but it's not known what substance was used. cbs news cannot independently verify the videos or whether a chemical weapon was used. syria's government denies carrying out the attack. president trump says syria will pay a big price for the

attack. he hammered russian president vladimir putin and iran on twitter for backing syrian president bashar al assad. mr. trump will meet with his senior military leaders tonight. major garrett is at the white house where changes in the president's national security team may affect the response. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the trump administration not unlike the obama administration has been wrefts ling with the question of syria for months. there are two issues. the fight against isis and the ongoing syrian civil war. this alleged chlorine attack would be the most deadly in a string of suspected chlorine attacks that are part of the syrian civil war. now forcing the trump administration to decide whether a second u.s. military strike is justified. now back to the question of fighting isis. last week, the president said he wanted the u.s. to withdraw from syria because that fight was nearly won. his advisers persuaded him more time was necessary. did that suggestion of leaving syria embolden the assad regime in the context of a syrian war?

no one knows. if the u.s. strikes now that could suggest staying in syria longer, which is a position previously advocated by john bolton, the incoming national security adviser to starts at the white house today. back when the u.s. under the trump presidency launched those cruc missile strikes a year ago, bolton was a strong advocate saying that was a strong message sent by america that russia could not ignore. a position he's like three advocate for more here inside the white house. as for what comes next, all the white house will say, gayle, is all options, including military ones, are on the table. >> thank you very much, major. the trump administration is trying to downplay fears of a trade war with china, but the president tweeted yesterday that he and chinese president xi jinping will always be friends. he also wrote china will take down its trade barriers and a deal will be made on intellectual property. on "face the nation" steve mnuchin wouldn't say if discussions with china had

advanced but the president is willing to fight for his trade goals. >> i don't expect there will be a trade war. it could be, but i don't expect it at all. but the president is willing to make sure we have free and fair trade. >> the president's trade adviser, peter navarro, says the administration is listening to the chinese but also moving forward with tariffs in a, quote, measured way. he's, a new look inside a new museum that chronicles racial injustice from inslavement to mass incarceration. we'll hear from one of the men whose story is featured in the museum. he describes how he spent nearly three decades on death row for a crime he did not

we want people to hear and understand what happened to some of these folks. >> oh, my. robert morton was lynched for writing a note to a white woman. david hunter was lynched in lauren county, south carolina for leaving the farm where he worked without permission. >> that's oprah winfrey and attorney brian stevenson last night on "60 minutes" exploring a new tribute that allows thousands of victims of lynching. it is at the new memorial for peace and justice in montgomery, alabama. the memorial is accompanied by the legacy museum. it chronicles the areas of racial injustice for slavery and mass incarceration. the museum will open to the

public on april 26. cheryl miller visited the museum and a man whose personal story is featured in the exhibit. michelle, good morning. >> brian morton was on death row for three decades for crimes he did not commit. stevenson said of all of his clients, hinton has inspired him the most. hinton is sharing his accounts of being nearly executed. did you know when that day would come? >> it was coming soon. if god hadn't intervened and sent me his best lawyer, within two years i would have gotten an electrocution date. >> when i got out of my car and started walk to go the prison, guards would pull me aside. when are you going to get ray out? >> really? they believed he was innocent? >> they knew he was innocent. >> reporter: despite his innocent, anthony ray hinton

lingered on death row for nearly 30 years. he tells his story here at the legacy museum, created by his attorney, brian stevenson. >> i think the first person perspective is key. >> reporter: the museum chronicles racial injustice from enslavement to mass incarcerati incarceration. >> the theory behind this space is really the evolution of slave slavery. slavery then becomes lynching and lynching becomes caudified desegregation. >> incarceration is the death of more people in the united states. 35% are black. the equal justice initiative states one out of ten of those sentenced to death are innocent. it's a reality hinton has experienced firsthand. >> he said, there's five things that are going to convict you. would you like to know what they are? i said, yes.

>> reporter: hinton said those were the words of the detectives who arrested him when he was falsely identified for the murders of two fast food workers in 1985. >> he said, number one, you're black. number two, a white hman is goig to say you shot him. whether you shot him or not, i believe him. i don't care. number three, you're going to have a white prosecutor. number four, you're going to have a white judge. and number five, more than likely, you're going to have an all-white jury. do you know what that spells? and he repeated the word conviction, conviction, conviction, conviction, conviction. >> stevenson took on his case 15 years later, discovering a botched defense, mishandled evidence and a refusal by alabama's highest court to admit a mistake had been made in his trial. but in 2015, the u.s. supreme court recognized the injustice, ruling unanimously to exonerate

hinton. >> 30 years ago, the prosecution deemed to take my life from me. >> reporter: his story and others like it are the last stop on the museum's journey. >> just pick this phone up and they listen to a story. why was it so important that anthony ray hinton's story be part of this museum? >> because you can't understand this history without understanding what we are doing to people like anthony ray hinton. if we had confronted the legacy of slavery, if we had confronted the idealogy of white supremacy in an air of racial difference at the end of the civil war, anthony ray hinton wouldn't have ended up on death row. if we had put up the sign desegregation forever, we wouldn't have put him on death row. but because we didn't, we have a system of thousands of anthony ray hintons still languishing in

death row in prison. >> there are still many on death row. he mentioned all of them by name. he knows all of them aren't innocent but notes that all of them deserve humanity. >> we can teach hate but we can also teach love. as i look around this museum, i see the lynching of men who were lynched for nothing but the color of their skin. it's sad, but they died for a reason. and sometimes some of us have to pay a bigger price than others. and if that price means for me to spend 30 years in a 5x7 pure hell every day, so be it. >> hinton sat down with scott pelle in 2016 following his release, and he told him he had not received any compensation or even an apology from the state of alabama. he informed us that now three

years after his release, he still hasn't received any money or an apology. hinton's book "the sun does shine: how i found life and freedom on death row" is available now where books are sold. >> that's disgraceful he's received no compensation. i just started reading that book over the weekend. not only that, he passed a polygraph test, as you know, and his supervisor at the time said that he clocked in, that he was there on the job, and he still was convicted. >> it is a process and pattern, he says, and brian stevenson says that happens to so many people. they just get railroaded. so the question is, how do you change the criminal justice syst system? in particular one out of ten people are deemed innocent at least by egi. how do you have a death penalty when you know that innocent people are on death row? >> mr. hinton is an amazing man. an amazing story. >> three decades stolen from an innocent man. >> like he said, you can teach people to hate and you can also

teach people to love. >> that's his point, and he is helping people. he really wants to be able to help other people. >> good book. thank you, michelle. a new car on a road test is not always what it seems, ahead. and first on "cbs this morning," we'll reveal general motors' newest muscle car and learn how the company disguised it. you're watching "cbs this morning." ♪you've got a friend in me

secrecy is key. for months now gm engineers have been driving the new camaro and using new technology of this cam oe wr camo wrap on the car to hide it in plain sight. >> you might see it driving around today. >> reporter: why? because that is the future driving around in plain sight. >> this is considered a high security vehicle right now. it has to be covered when it's stopped. >> reporter: but even in disguise with its camo, the 2019 chevrolet camaro commands attention. so how long when you drive this does a spy show up? >> almost immediately. >> reporter: through the years and multiple design changes, it's become an icon for general motors. so secrecy is key. pictures not only ruin the

surprise for customers and tip off competitors, they can also hurt business. >> people are so enthusiastic and passionate about the cars, they want the latest and greatest thing. and so when they recognize we're going to evolve the design, they may hold off buying. >> reporter: so car makers have developed an aray ray of tricke from heavy material to hide the design to a cover to hide the design to the human eye. >> when you get inside the car, everything in here is camouflaged too, the dashboard and even the seats. >> reporter: a team of three will spend hours disguising a vehicle before it leaves the plant. our camouflage engineers would take this foam and they would create a fake feature line. >> reporter: al leads the camaro

team. >> you can actually put a competitor's brand on the front if you really wanted to have fun with the photographers. >> reporter: he took us for a ride on gm's proving grounds, usually off limits to cameras. we're trying out the new 10-speed transmission in the new camaro. it's fast. every gm gets tested here. >> here comes one. >> that's the brand new chevy el dorado. >> reporter: from the new presidential limo in camo to the chevy malibu to this pickup dubbed the scrambler. >> what's the wildest way you've gotten a car? >> driving 17 hours through the night. >> reporter: and using a little smoke and mirrors to protect this secret. here it is, here's the 2019 chevy camaro. it's got a new front, this is

sandy led the team at facebook responsible for privacy on the company's platforms. he said he warned facebook in 2012 about potential risks like the cambridge analytica scandal. sandy, good morning. >> good morning. thank you for having me on. >> what, sandy, do you want to hair mark zuckerberg say right away at the hearing to prove that something is different there? >> i think the first thing he needs to do, he needs to address the corporate governance of facebook. he is unaccountable at the moment. he controls the company 100%. so it's not a good situation who has someone who has that much power over a company of this much importance. >> you say unaccountable, he's on the hook, going before congress and they have lost millions of dollars on the market. >> of course. >> that's a lot of pressure on him. he seems pretty accountable. >> that's a lot of pressure. but keep in mind, no one can fire him. there's no independent board that can step in and say, hey, mark you're not doing a good

job. you need to step aside. >> let's talk about the privacy concerns you warned facebook about. explain how these outside apps got access to our information. >> so it's important to remember that apps on facebook when you use them they ask you for permission to access specific kinds of data, whether it's your name or your e-mail address or your friend list or photos or other information. once you click allow or tap allow, all that information passes from facebook to the application developer. the problem is once the data goes to the developer, there's no insight into what the developer is doing with the data. no control by facebook as to what they do. this has been a known problem since 2010. >> why does facebook allow all these apps to have access to our private data. >> it's a good question. the reason they want to do that to begin with, they wanted developers to build really rich, full featured applications that

were social for the platform. >> that would then help facebook make money. >> yes. >> when you left in 2012, did you leave on good terms? i'm trying to determine, is this a case of sour grapes on your part, listen, i told you guys. have you now been gone from the company for quite some time. >> yeah. i did. i went and worked for a company that was doing facebook advertising, working closely in partnership with facebook for two years after. so you know, i continued to work with the company. i continued to believe in the company. it's only recently that i've started to become really concerned about some of the implications of what this data can be used for. >> like what? >> what's new, there are companies like cambridge analytica that are able to use this data to understand and predict how you're going to vote. they can predict your personality type. that's why they wanted this data from facebook. they built all these models, according to chris wiley, the whistleblower at cambridge analytica. they are building all these

models that can predict your behavior, and then they can use that information to go back into facebook and buy ads that target you and try to manipulate you based on your personality and your voting preference. >> facebook says they have taken steps to prevent this from happening again, including banning app developers who don't agree to audits, making privacy tools easier to find, and showing users how to revoke data permissions. is that enough? >> well, they have taken some steps to address some of the most obvious concerns here. i think that frankly the way the platform was built to begin with wasn't built with the safety of users in mind. that's a huge problem. they could have built it in a much different way where they had a much more limited set of features and they controlled the data and just allowed developers to access modules that would let you see friends. >> what did you think when you spoke up and you were there? do you think you could have done more? do you take any responsibility? if you saw this, sandy, coming,

do you think you should have shouted a little louder? >> i probably could have done more, to be totally frank. i saw some of the risks coming. other people at the company obviously understood this risk as well. >> did you tell mark and sheryl specifically. >> i don't recall having a specific conversation with mark or sheryl about this. this was well-known at the company. there was a "wall street journal" in 2010 about this issue about a company called rap leaf taking data, personally identifiable data from facebook and passing it -- getting that information and then selling it to ad networks. >> when you heard the breach you thought what? >> oh, no. this is something they have known about, i have known about, i tried to raise some alarm about, and now it's being used for a really devastating purpose. >> sandy, i think people are listening. >> i'm glad they are. >> me, too. music icon, we're talking this time about sir elton john. the audience is everything, he
